Converge Cast | The New Heartbeat of Healthcare: Priya Abani

About this episode

What if one small device could change the way the world understands its own heartbeat? 

In this episode of Converge Cast, Ysette Witteveen and Lisa Casper sit down with Priya Abani, CEO of AliveCor, a leader redefining cardiac care by making it personal, portable, and profoundly more proactive. Priya isn’t simply running a medtech company; she’s championing advancing a future where lifesaving cardiac insights are no longer confined to hospital walls, but accessible to anyone, anywhere, exactly when they’re needed most. It's a shift from traditional, reactive care to a world where heart conditions are caught earlier, treated faster, and often prevented entirely. 

Under her leadership, AliveCor has transformed a traditionally clinical, cumbersome test into a simple, intuitive experience that fits in the palm of your hand. But the true breakthrough begins after the reading. Priya is building an ecosystem where continuous monitoring, advanced AI, and actionable insights replace the guesswork that has defined cardiac care for decades. Her mission is bold: shift healthcare from reactive “sickcare” toward a world where heart conditions are caught earlier, treated faster, and often prevented entirely. 

This episode explores the movement Priya is driving -- one where a person’s home becomes an extension of the clinic, where geography no longer determines quality of care, and where every heartbeat becomes a data point that technology can help interpret. Through clinical rigor, visionary partnerships, and a relentless focus on patient impact, Priya is redefining what’s possible in cardiovascular health. 

AliveCor isn’t just building devices. They’re rewriting the future of heart care, one recording, one insight, one life at a time.
